Hello,
I have a problem. Yesterday i upgrade my xperia to 4.0.2.A.0.58. At some point the phone is turned off. Now i can't turn it on, the green LED flashes.
Please help.
Did you try to restore it via SE Software?
Flash stock using flashboot!!!

Sorry for bumping an old thread, but I have the same problem as the OP had.
My phone is Xperia Mini Pro.
I had CM 7.2 on it. I wanted to go stock, but flashtool didn't work.. So I extracted the FTF file (SK17i_4.0.2.A.0.62_(1251-0103)) and using ADB I flashed kernel.sin and system.sin.
Phone started normally. I didn't wipe any data or cache.
Then I installed KRsH Kernel v3.0 and the wlan_modules.
Then (don't know why) I wiped Dalvik cache..
After a while using, the phone asked for software update. I installed it and phone didn't boot. I wait about 10 mins, and took the battery out.. (USB unplugged)
Put it back in and the phone did nothing when trying to turn it on.
I tried updating with SEUS but it said, "the phone contains modified software that cannot be updated."
I tried flashtool again, and it worked! But after installing, reboot, and keep saying "Device connected in flash mode. Device disconnected. And keeps repeating this.)
I unplugged the USB and when I tried to turn it on, the green light flashed once. If I hold the power button it keeps flashing in interval of 1 sec.
*The light is not as bright as when I plugged the USB cable*
If i plug the USB now the LED turns bright green and I hear the USB connected sound on my PC(win7 64 btw).
Anyting I can do to fix my phone?
Thanks!

This can be fixed using the free debranding flash Wotan client. just google it as i cannot post links yet.
You have to create an account but this is a service that doesn't require any credits - which I would have been unhappy with. Download the flashing tool and sign in. When you sign up for wotan you get two accounts. The username for the account you sign into in the flash client is just a number. The only way I discovered this was by re-requesting my password on the web page - then it gives you the numeric username.
Make sure your phone has been on charge for at least an hour before doing this - my phone was quite flat first time i tried and it actually failed twice with different errors. Once it was fully charged it worked fine though. I recommend a couple of retries if you get errors.
Just flash it with the latest 4.0.xxx image which takes a couple of minutes and hey presto.
If you have a unlocked bootloader and you update phone firmware over the air(OTA), it gets "bricked".
Relock bootloader(Flash relock_bootloader.ftf file with flashtool) and then install stock ROM with Flashtool or WotanServer.

nood question sir,
since this would relock the bootloader,
in case my phone needs repairs, would the service center detect this???
thanks!
If you have completely stock phone(ROM/firmware, kernel, etc) and relocked bootloader, then they might not notice it.
Don't take it as sure answer, I don't have information about it, so it's a guess.

thanks for the reply,
another question sir,
i found a thread here in XDA about how to flash to stock kernel,
it says there that flashing a stock rom would also flash the stock kernel, is that true?
need your opinion on this, thanks!

Using Wotan server will leave it stocked even the kernel but it will be generic. It's kind of using seus.

Yes will flash stock kernel too cause stock rom contains stock kernel.But you can install a custom kernel after you flash stock rom.Just flash custom kernel you like, of course your bootloader must be unlocked
is the green blinking led is also the indicator for complete charging??

I really hope this is not a issue allready answered a gazillion times, but I couldn't find any thread/post about this problem.
I've tried to rebrand my phone to get Telenor.se stock rom to update. I've reverted and flashed nordic .504 rom, changed to telenor.se id in build.prop and then used seus/pcc to try to restore the rom. seus just say "no update", pcc gives the option to restore the rom. When I try to do this, it downloads everything ok and then asks to reboot phone in flashmode. When the phone is in flashmode pcc states that there is no version availible for install.
Any ideas?
Just want to be able to revert back to it in case I have to send it to service sometime, but I'm happy running freeX10 2.2 z-style on it. Had an uptime of 150+ hours on it, so its very stable.

That is what I did, it's those roms that gives me the errormessage in pcc, after downloading the rom in pcc and rebooting the phone into flash, it says it can't repair it.
To clarify, I can flash using those roms, and that tool, but when I try to repair it using pcc it says that it can't.
Could build.prop reset itself upon reboot so the information I entered to get the telenorsoftware is not valid after reboot and when it checks, it thinks that it's the wrong software for my phone?

the only i see then is to remove PCC/SEUS and reinstall again. somethimes this work.
i´m sorry but if that doesn`t work i can`t see other way `cause i never had any issues to "revert" back
Basically I went to flash the alpha kernal through xrec and when I went to reboot my phone it just hangs at the "Sony Ericsson" screen. I cant access xrec either. What do I do? Do I have to use SEUS?
Ok The first thing you have to do is to post in the RIGHT FORUM! What comes to your mind when you see a [Q] in front of a thread? Anything but Development!..
2nd... Yes you'll have to use Seus or the Flash tool. I'll said use the Flash tool first, easier than SEUS....

Flash it with FlashTool.
This happened to me, and flash tool would not work. I had to fudge the darn thing to finally get into flash mode (green LED) Took me quite a while of trial and error hooking up the cord and pulling the battery but I flashed with SEUS and got 2.1 then re-rooted and started all over. Once your stuck like that its a bit of work to get out of the loop.
if your not a dev n00bs shouldnt flash it
I had it to, but xrec works but you must keep trying it on a few boots on mine works with charging the battery then I try to get in to xrec hoppa itworked.
yea I got it to flash with the flash tool. I dont know what happened, when I was flashing the alpha kernal xrec just seized up so I had to restart it and then yea thats where things stopped working.
Thread Moved.
So pretty much my phone is not useable atm. when you unlock the phone it goes to a black screen where the only thing you can do is pull down the menu. you cant lock the phone back up or anything. you can also no longer get into xrecovery to flash a new rom onto it or anything. I can still use flashtool but from what I know you can only flash BBs onto the phone.
Does anyone know a way to maybe flash a new ROM onto my phone or restore it from a nandroid or anything?
I think the best way is to restore it with PC Companion to the stock ROM and then root it and put some custom ROM in.

When I try that it says there is no software available for my phone
Hey,
I am having the same issue when trying flash with PC Companion. But am running CM6.1.3 fine for a week now. I wonder what I'm gonna do when I need to go back to stock SE.
Any thoughts?

just use flashtool.... it's the best way to fix any problem.. turn off your phone, let it stay off for a minute or two, and just flash the latest firmware...
you can use flashtool like said in above post from here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746&highlight=flashtool
and then I think the best thing is to first flash original ROM from here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=936733&highlight=flashtool
When you have done that use the flashtool to install the latest recovery menu.
And when u have done this you can use the recovery menu to go back to your latest nandroid backup since it is still on your SD
good luck, and sorry if you already know this
Think you already found this but here is it anyway in case you didn't : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=928343

First of all: We need more information on what you did, which rom and kernel you tried to pair up, which steps you took on installation, and most importantly, which model phone you have. Just saying you get a bootloop and you're not able to repair it isn't giving us much to diagnose your problem.
Secondly: BE PATIENT!!! There is no excuse to double-post the question in a different and wholly inappropriate thread like development. You won't get your answers anymore quickly and it will only result in people being less likely or wanting to help you.
so...I have a SE X10 MP with 2.1 update1. I rooted phone and unlocked BL with flashtool. Tried to flash nAa-14 kernel, done, restart the phone => bootloop, after first bootloop flash GDX v21b, CM7 2.2.1., gingersony v05, with all 4 wipes: data, cache partition, dalvik cache and battery stats. Then I tried to flash JB by nAa and CM 10 and after all I tried to repair/update phone with PC Companion, SEUS and SUS but all methods results in bootloop the phone.
I attached some print screens with some steps

Download this, it's complete kernel and firmware (2.1 original SE generic) to flash with flashtool. It comes in at 213.5Mb, although the site may indicate a smaller size.
Put it in the firmwares folder and flash with flashtool.. Hope that will solve your bootloop issues.

Hello,
today I wanted to restore a CWM restore on my neo V (.587), but i forgot that backup IS GINGERBREAD. Now the phone is softbricked. Flashtool is stuck at around 13% (system.sin) and SUS also cannot succesfully flash. I googled for solutions, but haven't found any. Alsom my bootloader is locked (unlockable). I tried flashing two different 587 FTFs, none flashed. Also, should i check or uncheck the final verification? Please help me! :crying:
After restoring the backup,of GB you can just flash a GB kernel ... This soft brick is caused as you had ics kernel on a GB Rom which won't boot!
Try flashing a GB kernel .... Instead of whole Rom ...

I already half-flashed (stuck at ending flash session at 14%) ICS with flashtool so i,m afraid that won't help me.
By the way, will Sony repair it? How expensive will the repair be? :crying:

Since they can't turn on phone in this condition, meaning first they need to flash it, root will be gone after that.
And you won't do anything stupid like telling them you used some unofficial program for flash, right? .
So there is no way they will know you root it and used flashtool.
And now about your problem. Are you using latest flashtool?
Can you show us log of flashing?
And what is exact problem when you try flashing it with sony update service?

Okay, will try to flash again. The log looks perfectly okay, as usual, but while flashing system.sin, it freezes for a few minutes (at 14%), and says Ending flash session and will stay at this message forever. I'm on Flashtool 0.9.8.0, and i guess i won't try to flash it again. I'm bringing it to a repair center (is that the right word? my english is not the best). And the phone CAN be turned on, but will only show the Sony screen and then the "orange triangle and a phone" screen. Guess they won't find out about the flashtool, I'll just say that I was updathing via SUS (in fact, it WAS the last thing i was doing with my phone ) and they'll hopefully fix it. Thanks for your help, next time I'll update my Flashtool.
If you haven't took your phone to a repair center yet, try this (i had the same problem):
Try reinstalling the drivers flash tool needs to recognize your phone.
If that didn't work, try another PC or another Windows. Sometimes the problem is pc, not the phone.
